Diabetic Muscle Infarction of the Tibialis Anterior and Extensor Hallucis Longus Muscles Mimicking the Malignant Soft-Tissue Tumor

Abstract: One of the most common causes of skeletal muscle infarction is diabetic muscle infarction (DMI), a rare complication associated with poorly controlled diabetes. We report an atypical case of DMI localized in the tibialis anterior (TA) and extensor hallucis longus (EHL) muscles of an elderly individual. A 64-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus presented with a 6-month history of a palpable mass in his lower left leg. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed that the mass exhibited heterogeneous signals … Show more

“…Similarly, a study reported diabetes muscle infarction of the extensor hallucis and tibialis anterior muscles. 55 Again, the present results are similar to previous findings, with a significant strength reduction in these muscles as mentioned previously herein and seen in most of the participants (Table 5). However, note that both of these studies had participants with uncontrolled sugar levels.…”

“…It characteristically presents in patients with a long duration of either type 1 or type 2 diabetes, often accompanied by other microvascular complications, particularly CKD, although the outcomes are not different to those with normal renal function 9. It may rarely be painless and can occur in the distal lower limb 1012. The differential diagnosis includes inflammatory myopathy; infection; polymyositis; dermatomyositis; deep vein thrombosis; trauma; soft tissue hemorrhage; necrotizing fasciitis; and diabetic lumbarsacral radiculoplexopathy 1,13.…”

“…12-Diabetic muscle infarction: One of the commonest causes of skeletal muscle infarction is diabetic muscle infarction (DMI), a rare complication associated with poorly controlled diabetes. Mimata et al (2015) reported an atypical case of DMI localized in the tibialis anterior (TA) and extensor hallucis longus (EHL) muscles of a 64-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus presented with a 6-month history of a palpable mass in his lower left leg. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed that the mass exhibited heterogeneous signals on T1-& T2-weighted images and slight heterogeneous enhancement within the muscles on fat suppressed T1-weighted images.…”
